Compared to many aeronautical curiosities that have taken wing at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center at California’s Edwards Air Force Base over the years, the latest military test stunts did not appear very remarkable. Last April, a low-slung aircraft, about the size of a sport utility vehicle...

In the early days of Flight Simulation, Mark Strawcutter managed the Indiana University of Pennsylvania's FTP service. This service was made available to the entire world-wide simming community for free. Not since IUP effectively shut down has there been a site or service available with the large...

In 1924, before Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Erhardt etched their names into history with famous flights, a group of American pilots authored one of the most daring and defining feats in aviation history. Racing against five other nations and death itself, the "World Fliers" became the...

Before I make the jump from FS2002, could I get some feedback on whether you think it's a good idea? I've put a lot of time and energy into my AI Aircraft and wonder if they will work as well in 2004. I've also heard some horror stories about 2004's frame rates, start up problems, etc. So anything...

I thought this would be a good place to start to find interesting scenic objects in FS9. Scroll half-way down the page and you will find a table of scenic objects and the lat.& long. coordinates. I know this table is for FS2000, but so far all of the places that I have checked have also...

After getting my sim, I am very frustrated trying to find an active user's group to get some answers to basic questions. Am I in the wrong place? One immediate question: Is there some way I can identify airports as I fly cross country? js

I'm starting flying lessons this week, and I'd like to have an accurate simulator to practice with as well. I currently have FS 2004, CH pedals, and a Saitek stick/throttle, and I'm looking to get a CH yoke. I just found out about x-plane and understand it has a very good flight model. I'll...

OK...On scenery in FS2k2. I was bored last night, so I just went totally random (instead of the usual flight school stuff I usually do, since I just started playing this 2 weeks ago or so), and decided to fly out of an airfield close to home in Jersey, Atlantic City Int'l. I had all of the...

Hi; Lately, when I try to advance the throttle on either CFS or CFS2, the throttle immediately retards. I can't remember any event that has caused this to start. This happens whether I bring up the engine controls (F5) and grab the control or if I try the keyboard. I noticed in the control...

I installed FS Real Time and makes a big difference in the changing of the time zones. They actually change! I noticed, though that leaving Miami for St. Thomas, that the time is the same. I seem to remember changing my watch when I went on a cruise to St. Thomas, but Real Time doesn't seem to...

Hi, Is there any fix to the time zone issue in FS2002? It's not very good at recognizing when you change time zones. Thanks,
